The European Parliament pays tribute to the bravery of all those killed in Iran with a moment of applause not silence.

The people of Iran don't need silence. They have been kept forcefully silent for 47 years.

They deserve to be free.

Equally importantly, it would send a strong message to the brave Iranians on the streets that Europe has heard them, that we stand with them and we have acted against their tormentors.
